Temporary air space restriction question

[Bop]

Hello, So I noticed today on the B4UFLY app that the president will be visiting our area on 9-22-20 6:15pm thru 9-22-20 10:15pm. No other restrictions so I went to set a few waypoints (using DJI GO 4) and it would not let me because of "restrictions". I was able to fly normally in this area.
I am assuming waypoints are disabled in the restricted area because of the 9/22/20 restriction? Is it normal protocol to restrict waypoints 2 days ahead of the actual restricted area?
Thanks

Don’t worry about details your drone will not start or TO in a TFR. It will stop at the margin if you fly into the edge. Exactly as is legal

Ok but Is it normal protocol to restrict waypoints 2 days ahead of the actual restriction?

Yes. The same thing happened in Cleveland a month or so ago. While stationed with Exec Flight at DUSAAin 1972, anytime Marine 1 was due in at the Pentagon, we were grounded 1 hour prior and about 20 minutes after they landed. With today's sophisticated assets, it wouldn't surprise me.

Yes. TFRs are published well in advance. DJI just updates their software ahead of time to prevent people from screwing up

Thanks for the conformation.
